One of Shakespeare's most complex and emotionally vivid tragedies, Othello tells the story of Othello, a brave general who is revered but never truly accepted by the people of his adopted home. Enter the treacherous Iago, who exploits this state of otherness to distort Othello's tender love for his young wife, Desdemona, and bring about his heartrending destruction. Set in a Venice and Cyprus overflowing with all of the vibrant, clashing cultures of the Mediterranean, this production will home in on all of the passion, betrayal, rage, devotion and soul-crushing jealousy that have kept breathless audiences on the edge of their seats for over 400 years.
